At one point, I defined the notion of a "species project" which includes the time to prepare for each species (set up the environment, get the food and water etc.)
Even if the polar bear (bush baby) just instantly appeared on the boat, the time allotted toward that bear in preparation would easily be more than an hour.
Of course, maybe Noah did nothing and God did all the work. But that's not how the story goes is it?

A miraculous tardis effect? ...I've gotta hand it to ya - that's genius..!
I thought so too until I realized that buoyancy might prove problematic. Displacing water becomes more difficult when the outside volume has been decreased while the mass inside remains quite large.
I suspect God had the ark resting on the backs of angels. Either that or the giant turtle who used to hold the Earth up before Columbus made the world spherical.

That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy. eritis sicut dii I support NCMO
You want a whole ecosystem and mating on the boat too? How much wetland was on the boat. How much prairy Old Testament jungle? How many plants to grow and feed and be eaten. Pollun, bees, slime mold, fungi, mites? Were does the dung go? How does a polar bear survive in the same environment as snake or frog?
Hmmm...been totally down this road before...how many species existed back then?
Just for the record, the Book of Mormon is orders of magnitude easier to believe than a literal Noah's ark and world flood.
That ain't saying much either since the Book of Mormon isn't believable.
